At Hannover Messe 2017, Dassault Systèmes will demonstrate how the 3DEXPERIENCE platform supports companies in any industry that are implementing industry 4.0 initiatives to digitally connect all departments along the value-added chain. In hall 6, booth K30, visitors can experience the fully integrated, digitally supported value creation process of a packaging company, from customer requirements to the store shelf.

Siemens and Materialise have integrated additive manufacturing (AM) technology from Materialise into Siemens NX software, streamlining the design to manufacturing process for the rapidly growing universe of products being produced using AM (a.k.a. 3D printing). The new solution leverages proven Materialise technology to enable NX computer-aided design, manufacturing and engineering (CAD/CAM/CAE) software to accurately and completely prepare CAD models for powder bed fusion and material jetting 3D printing processes. As a result, the time necessary to go from a completed product design to a fully 3D-printed part could be reduced by 30 percent or more. A partnership agreement between the two companies, announced by Materialise on January 6, 2017, enables Siemens’ product lifecycle management (PLM) software business to sell the integrated solution through its global sales channels.

UL, a global safety science organization, today announced a new Plastics for Additive Manufacturing Program (Blue Card Program). Specifically targeting materials for 3D printing, this new program serves as an extension of UL's existing Plastics Recognition Program (Yellow Card Program).

When Carbon launched their revolutionary 3D printing breakthrough on the TED stage in 2015, it did not take long for the Oracle Labs team to take notice. Researchers in this forward-thinking R&D unit tasked with advanced development at Oracle, knew exactly where they wanted to put Carbon’s CLIP (Continuous Liquid Interface Production) technology to work. With Carbon, Oracle was able to design and print an extremely precise bracket hardly an inch in size, enabling a 3D-printed production volume solution for their new research server. Carbon is proud to count their partnership with Oracle as one of a growing number of examples of Carbon enabling end-use parts in manufacturing-quality materials, all in record time.

Stratasys EMEA, a subsidiary of Stratasys Ltd. (Nasdaq:SSYS), the 3D printing and additive manufacturing solutions company, today announced that it has extended its UK reseller network with the appointment of Emco, a leading distributor of 3D printers and scanning products.

Stratasys Ltd. (Nasdaq:SSYS) supported a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket, launched yesterday from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The Atlas V rocket flew serial production 3D printed parts enabled by Stratasys support and technology. The 3D printed parts highlight the ability to replace metal components with 3D printed lightweight thermoplastic components.

In a fantastic melding of art and audio visualization, two Dutch artists have created a 3D ceramics printer which translates sound and music into textures in clay vessels. In their “Solid Vibration” project, spatial sound designer Ricky van Broekhoven and designer Olivier van Herpt mounted a powerful speaker beneath a platform on which lines of clay are laid down by a ceramic print head. Different frequency notes translate into large and small wiggles in the lines of clay.
